← HistoryWhile constructing chinampas, extensive reed decay risks which outcome?
A)Reduced structural soil cohesion✓
B)Increased thermal gradient effect
C)Unstable hydraulic head pressure
D)Accelerated nutrient mineralization losses
💡 Explanation
Reduced structural soil cohesion occurs because insufficient decomposition slows the **root reinforcement mechanism**, weakening the chinampa's structure by reducing resistance to erosion; therefore structural integrity suffers, rather than thermal or pressurized inefficiencies.
